Chapter 945: The Young Marquis's Broken-Engagement Wife (Extra 3)
A Few Things About the Second Miss of the Xu Family (Part 2)
Fortunately, Huier had learned some skills from that sister before, so her life was not too difficult.
Moreover, her job did not require her to run around frequently, so Huier felt that she could finally save money seriously.
The maids in the Marquis' Mansion gradually became more virtuous because of the death of their elder sister.
More than a year passed peacefully. As the cousin still hadn't gotten pregnant, the people in the mansion seemed to become active again.
Hui'er's heart remained unmoved. It wasn't that she didn't want to live a life of wealth and glory, but she simply didn't dare to move.
She always felt that her sister's hands in the front yard had not been wiped clean, and every time she saw the incense or powder that the old lady asked her sister Lan'er to prepare, she felt cold all over.
Counting the silver in her hand, Hui'er hated her parents more and more. If it weren't for the death contract, she could have left the house a few years earlier.
It just so happens that the more you fear something, the more likely it will come to you.
She was obviously the most obedient maidservant beside the old lady, but one day she was pulled into the room by the young marquis.
Unlike those people, Hui'er only felt pain all over her body that night, and her heart also ached. It is no exaggeration to say that she felt like her soul was out of her body for a moment, and she saw the "Black and White Impermanence" coming to pick her up.
But after the person on her body stopped moving and fell asleep, Huier felt a ray of light, and it hit her eyes squarely. At this moment, she thought of the money she had saved to redeem herself.
Thinking of the freedom she had longed for for so many years and finally got, Huier suddenly felt stronger.
After all, she came from a poor family, so even if she felt very uncomfortable, she could get up immediately, put on her clothes, pack up everything here, and quickly return to her own room.
The next day, he continued to serve the old lady with his extremely sore body.
However, Hui'er was still too young and had only a vague understanding of many things. In the second month after the incident, when she started vomiting, she still didn't realize the seriousness of the matter and thought she had eaten something wrong.
"Miss Hui'er, please stay!" Huo Xu handed her a purse. "I found this in a room two months ago. It should be yours."
Looking at the thing in the other person's hand, Hui'er's face instantly lost its color - this thing was lost that night, and she had been worried about it, but no one came to her house later, so she thought the matter was over.
But now, faced with such a situation, her legs instantly weakened. She was almost certain that this Huo Xu steward knew about the incident: "I...I, you...you."
The stuttering words came out in the end, but it was just one sentence: "Don't kill me, I don't want to die!"
"I didn't intend to tell on you!" Huo Xu sighed softly. "Originally, when I saw you leave on your own that day, I just pretended I didn't know about this matter. But looking at your current situation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep it a secret any longer."
His eyes stayed on Huier's belly.
Huo Xu was on duty that night, and he was supposed to be guarding Huo Qingyang.
It was just that day that was special. Huo Xu found some free time by the river near the side gate of the mansion and lit a river lantern to wish for the people he cared about. But when he came back, things had already reached an irreversible point.
It was actually his own fault that he kept the matter secret.
After all, it was his own responsibility, so Huo Xu finally made up his mind: "Things have come to this point. If you want to live, this matter must not be known to others. A few days ago, the master wanted to find a wife for me, and I will report your name.
Although I work in the mansion, my family has a house outside the mansion. When you and I are married, you can live outside. Whether to keep the child or not can be decided after you leave the mansion."
"You are so loyal to the Marquis!" Hui'er couldn't help but sigh, "You are willing to take the blame for him!"
Huo Xu didn't explain this. He just said, "Let me be clear with you first. We are just a fake couple. Once we get through this difficult time, you can tell me what you plan to do."
Huier nodded to show that she understood.
Things progressed extremely quickly. In just three months, Hui'er married Huo Xu, and she became pregnant after their wedding night. However, perhaps due to her previous health problems, the child was a premature baby.
Mrs. Huo had also seen the child. She once told people around her, "After all, she was born a peasant girl. Although the child was born prematurely, she is healthy and no different from a normal child.
It is clear that when I choose a wife for my son Qingyang in the future, I will still have to choose from the daughters of military commanders."
"Yes!" The nanny beside her nodded in agreement.
Time passed like flowing water. Hui'er was grateful to Huo Xu from the bottom of her heart over the years and respected him like an older brother.
It would be a lie to say that I had never been moved. After all, although Huo Xu was less talkative, he was considerate and always paid close attention to the proper manners when interacting with him.
